[June-September 
heavily sclerotized (compare Figs. 18, 23, 25 with Fig. 27). Internally 
the ducts of the spermathecae run nearly horizontally or straight 
across as they leave the bulb ( b ) in shenandoa (figs., 17, 22, 24), 
while in gosiuta the ducts slope diagnonally posteriad as they leave 
the bulb (Fig. 26). The male palpus of shenandoa is most similar to 
that of avara. However, the median apophysis ( ma ) in avara is much 
larger than in shenandoa (compare Figs. 36, 37, 39, 40 with Figs, 34, 
35, 42, 43). Trochosa shenandoa males may be easily distinguished 
from avara and gosiuta by the very robust pair of retroventral 
macrosetae on tibia I (compare Fig. 41 with Figs. 38, 44).
